What is this project all about?
"Take Me Like the Sea" wants to shake off stereotypes and other perceptions about both pornography and classical music.
Through seven scenes, from a kinky piano lesson to a majestic orgy, discover the magic happening when the lights go down.
Join us on a journey to make classical music and poetry more accessible by serving it with kinky, consensual, and diverse queer porn.
Support us and let the music take us like the sea.
What is the project goal and who is the project for?
We are political queers, our goal is to produce queer feminist porn by ethical standards. That means we want a respectful display of diversity, and that every job -- set- and sex-work -- is valued and payed.
Why would you support this project?
- Maybe you're like us and think that there can be never enough queer porn?
- Maybe you're like us, fascinated by the idea of mixing up two unusual ingredients to create something original, wonderful, and new?
- Maybe you want to have a new experience
- Maybe you want to get wonderful rewards
- Maybe you don't know anything about classical music
- Maybe you're a musician
- Maybe you read "50 shades of grey" and were disappointed
- Maybe you are curious!
Did you know Tchaikovsky, among a lot others, was gay? If he wouldn't be so dead, he would have been warmly invited to participate in the project. Since he's long gone, we're kind of too late for that.
So -- don't be too late yourself! Support us now!
How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?
We want to create a beautiful film, made by a professional team and with good material.
Although taking part in the project is not about the money for anyone involved, we consider it ethically important that everyone gets payed.
We decided to use a salary scale to match the financial situation of everyone working on the film. If the project is funded beyond our expectations, it will result in a better payment for everybody and maybe even recruit more performers. No cent will be wasted!
There will be about 30 people involved, on the set. In edition to that, there will be the editing.
You can see how the budget is divided here:
- Performer and crew wages: 2500€
- Material and other expenses (decoration, travel, etc): 660€
- Crowdfunding budget (rewards and fees): 640€
- Music rights: 200€
Who are the people behind the project?
We're a group a queers living in Berlin. Most of us are friends with each other, and we love to do creative things together.
